Plus they're selling it's reboot, so there's no need to take attention away from Xenoverse for a cool mysterious mmo like DBO. It's a shame, but I have at least a little hope that they'll make Xenoverse into an open world mmo like DBO one day.
Eh, DBO may not have came out in Japan, but it was covered in V-Jump a couple of times and there was an official website dedicated to documenting parts of the project's development. This feels a lot much more like a racial thing to me. As Japan and Korea don't actually get along very well. Since DBO failed, it seems more like they're trying to shun the project like a red-headed step child, otherwise there'd be absolutely zero reason to avoid at least documenting it in the product section of guides like the Chozenshuu when they have stuff from other places in the world, and the game was much bigger than most of it.

It really does feel like they want to sweep the project under the rug and treat it like something new that they can do better than that thing they don't want to admit exists.

Very good theory, I really wouldn't doubt it.

You know, I hope the new threat is Fu. That is one hell of a character I'd like to get a highlight.

I feel like that first guy doesn't really know what he's talking about...? After all, we''l get to play as "characters from the new movie, including future Goku"....

Anyone who actually bought that Gohan/Piccolo lie, you're pretty god damn gullible. I mean come on, you honestly think they'd remove Gohan and Piccolo from the game? Wouldn't make any sense.

He got me laughing pretty hard though so that's a plus at least

And what's this talk of Future Goku? Did I miss something?

I meant I called it when we first saw the hologram the day the trailer came out. I am pretty sure it was definetly not confirmed then, we didn't even know if we could import save data.

I'm excited to see how they will play a role in the story though. I wonder how we will choose which character comes across as I had a few.

Confirmed in the V-jump article about it.

V-Jump is released on the 21st each month in Japan, barring a Sunday or holiday in which case it gets moved up a day or two as necessary. The August 2016 issue is due out June 21st.

The latest/upcoming issue is available to purchase from retailers like CDJapan, Amazon Japan, etc.

Yeah, I sure as hell was gullible for falling for it, though I wasn't mad or anything. :lol:

How, besides the fact that they're both giant.
Zelvin wrote: Just leave GT out of it. We're already getting the other movies with Broly already shoved into XV1. I'd really rather not see XV2 just be the first game, but asking for more money.
No way, man, you kidding me?! There are WAY too many GT characters that are long overdue to be playable, like General Rildo, Ledgic, Oceanus Shenron, and the list goes on. Besides to me, only 14-15 movie characters are worthy to add in (9 of the main movie villains(Keeping Broly out, cuz he was in X1) + 5 movie henchmen like Cooler's squad, Zangya, and Androids 14&15, and Tapion as a movie hero). That way more slots would be saved for a some GT characters and a some DB characters (I hope for Devilman and Tambourine).

Now that I think about it, having Broly as the secret boss of the "vanilla" story in Xenoverse 1 was a bad idea. That idea of him appearing in the story could've been saved for this one. I say Time Breaker Bardock in his Super Saiyan form should've been the true final boss, that way would've set the intensity high for a cliffhanger and have the audience expecting more for the story.

I believe Fu is a bastard child so no worries on that front.

Assuming "marriage" as we perceive it would apply to demons as well, then maybe, I guess. But the two of them are clearly in a relationship, and end up with a child in at least one continuity. I don't get what what an "official" union would change about the whole thing.

Official union wouldn't change anything in particular. Anime Kitten suggested they wouldn't want Fu involved if they were married and since nothing really states that they are, that should quell their worries some. :P
